It takes only one smile...




It only takes one smile to offer welcome...                     
and blessed be the person who will share it.

It only takes one moment to be helpful...
and blessed be the person who will spare it.

It only takes one joy to lift a spirit...
and blessed be the person who will give it.

It only takes one life to make a difference...
and blessed be the person who will live it.

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving...
Make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!

This quote is featured in the book, Friends, The family we choose for ourselves
by BJ Gallagher.
Now, I did go to Mass yesterday and this last sentence of the homily has stayed with me: "Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."  I think we need to cultivate the wonder and the joy that grateful people have in their lives. Joy is a virtue and that means it is something to practice and to make a habit of being joyful each day.  I suspect that wonder is one way to double our joy but I can rejoice in so many ways and joy gives energy and gives a lift to all those we come in contact with each day.!
